It was fun :o watch the fish he‘d catch They were built just like Jack Dalton. But enough of that, so let‘s go back And tell, in these here verses, Of his winning ways in the early days, And his charming way with nurses. I‘m willing to bet each nurse he met, Was sure she‘d met Prince Charming, s Tho‘ he‘d not much hair, he has such a flair, The afiect on their hearts was alarming.

At *the close of the business period, Jimmie Fraser, Joyce Jenkins, Mary Lou Landreville, Jacqueline Byers, Vera Jenkins, Mildred Verbik . . . . "Out of the West" "Ou* of the West" was the Porcupine Skating Club presentation that won the npproval of the biggest throng the ska*â€" ing rink has known in years . ... Porcupine Club Excellent in "Youthful Harmony were June Pyper and Marie O‘Halloran and made an effective prelude to the "Espana‘" number of the Porcupine Skating Club, a vehicle for some good good figure skating as weli as harmonâ€" ious rhythm in the routines presented. OlIga Bernyk was outstanding in the Malaguena as was Tom Harkness, Julie Popovitch, Roger Todhunter and Jean Zadorozny in "Estudiantina." Othere appearing in the number were Frances Murray, John O‘Donnell, Gordon Paul, Stars from Porcupine Alex Fulton‘s solo work proved breathâ€" taking and spectacular as did also his later appearance with Margaret Keeley. They amply upheld their previous reâ€" cords as champions of the silver blades _ The recent skating carnival presented a‘* the Lake Shore rink at Kirkland Lake was a very decided success. The Apart from the always fine showing of the Porcupine Skating Club it was apparent® that Kirkland Lake is also on its iway toward producing some exâ€" cellent figure skating and it would not be out of the way to predict some will reach star magnitude. The presentaâ€" +ion demonstrated very effectively how well Miss Beryl Goodman has worked in preparing the skaters for the carniâ€" val. It showed, lso, how much can be accomplished in a short while when there is a true community coâ€"operation for in putting on the carnival there was rot only the close coâ€"operaticn of teacher and pupil, but wholeâ€"hearted help from the skating club in the sister town, and real support from the mine carpenters, mine electricians in providâ€" ing scenic and lighting effects, and most important of all an appreciative audience who enjoyed every moment of the fine show. Miss Goodman did an excellent and remarkable skating job Friday and Satâ€" urday, ail the more remarkable in that she punished herself severely to go on at all. Miss Goodman suffered a foot infection that made skating a someâ€" what painful sport but being a true trooper she went on, despite the handiâ€" cap and turned in a fine piece of work Many Stars Excluding such finished skaters as Miss Goodman, Alex Fulton and Marâ€" garet Keeley, it would be hard to pick out the best skater for the carnival was productive of many surprises in the work of the individual skaters. In unison the local skaters lacked the precision of the more finished Porcuâ€" pine Skating Club but gave promise of fine precision work later on. This apâ€" plied only to the large group members and not to the work of soloists, skating duos, trios or quartettes. In the smaller aggregations the Kirkland Lake skaters compared very favourably with their iellow skaters from the Porcupine Club. It is perhaps unwise to "gild a lily" for true talent shows up regardless of conditions but it can be said the cosâ€" tumes worn during the carnival were in good taste, colourful, and very effecâ€" tive throughout. Those worn by the Porcupine aggregation were qui‘e reâ€" markable, especially those worn during the "Espana‘"‘ number. Good Show First to last the first carni®Ql was a good show. If there was anything *to mar it perhaps it was the falls susâ€" tained by Miss Goodman, by Alex Fulâ€" ton and Margaret Keeley, by Jack Webster. The falls were no fault of the skaters but resulted from cigarette butts thrown on the ice by thoughtless smokers at the "ring side." Going at high speed, or making a quick turn, a piece of paper, anything that would give a braking effect, can have a disasâ€" trous effect upon the skater. rink was crowded for the event and so delighted were all with the entorâ€" tainment provided that a special ma*‘iâ€" nee was arranged for the following afternoon as an extra. The Porcupinec Skating Club ussisted on the programme and added mat‘eriâ€" ally to the success and pleasure of the occasion. Those who saw the carnival however, are loud in their praise of the Kirkland Lake Skating Club and give the highest praise :o the Kirkland Lake artists taking part. There were so many from Timmins and Schumacher taking part in the event that there will be general inâ€" terest in what The Northern Neéws Kirkland Lake‘s community paper has to say about the occasion. ‘The Norâ€" thern News gave the event nearly two columns of space last week, and ali sttending will agree that it was worth this special attention. Below The Adâ€" vance reprints part of the report by The Northern News. Some parts of the report are omitted as applying only to special local features and names, and so not of the same interest to peoâ€" ple here. This is to say, however, that the part taken by the Kirkland Lake Skating Club was remarkably effec‘iive and well done. The Northern News says, in part:â€" Carnival Proves Outstanding Success More than 2,000 people witnessed the First® Annual Carnival of the Kirkland Lake Figure Skating Club presented at the Lake Shore rink last Friday and Saturday.

Following the colourful finale Miss Bery!l Goodman was preâ€" sented with a bougquet of flowers by Susan Hurd, the youngest skater of ‘he club. Mrs. M. W.
